Think of this way. It is Badspot's forum that he pays for. Lets us use it to discuss stuff. These Bronies have only been here for a year and many of the extreme elements like the pony research posters have been banned. I guess if they were a real problem they would have been banned for a long time by now. I seem to recall Baspot hates furries too, but they still roam here(granted they keep to a minimum).
Now to disect and compare the conflict:
Anyway for those of you who remember FSJL it drove off many people like Supertoxic, but in time the thing killed itself. It was like a wildfire that grew big on this forum and then died after it got stale. I see MLP as a more extreme incarnation(RIP Miga). Anyway I see both things as fad with many people who become apart of it to feel like they apart of a group. There are those who want to be part of that group so they go way too far. Pretty much like anygroup it is going to have that small population that gives the thing a bad name. Sure a bunch of fourty year olds living off disability to watch the show is creepy and enraging, but that doesn't mean they are all like that. So instead of combating the entire group we should only focus on that small percentage like the basement dweller, flaunter, research poster, the troll, and that old guy you see at walmart buying a mlp coloring book. Like all cartoons it will run out of material and decline in popularity then forgotten in pop culture where a new thing will take its place. Simply saying ingore it by saying deal with it wont help. You just have to stop the fire from growing and it takes care of itself.
